Not at the moment. You could select them and mark then as unread, and the next time SpamBayes filters it will catch them - how inconvenient that would be, I'm not sure. You can also manually filter the folder via the SpamBayes button on the toolbar. I'm not 100%, but I think that if background filtering is turned off, then SpamBayes immediately filters *any* mail that arrives in the filter folders, regardless of read status. If that is the case, then you could turn it off (Advanced tab of the SpamBayes Manager) and that would solve the problem. It would mean that it would no longer be clear whether SpamBayes or local Outlook rules ran first, but if your rules are running on the Exchange Server (ones that don't have the "local machine" tag next to them) then that wouldn't be a problem. Adding a 'filter already read mail' option is possible; it would be very annoying for people who keep a lot of mail in the folders they filter (because they would be continually re-filtered), but if it defaulted to 'off', then I suppose it wouldn't hurt.
